Dear Parents/Guardians,

I am excited to welcome you to the new school year. I'm looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure your children can achieve their highest potential. I recognize that in order to be successful in school, your children need support from both the home and school. I know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for your child's success. I ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

• Attends school daily and arrives on time and well rested, ready for the day’s learning experience
• Completes all homework assignments given by teachers and has assignment book signed
• Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills
• Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in fourth grade
• Follows directions and procedures set forth by all staff members

Learning is a team effort and we have a common goal… to help your child become an independent learner.

                                                                   Sincerely,

                                                                   Carol McGoldrick
